Some Twitch streamers are still getting DMCA strikes on their channel even after deleting all of their previous videos. The reason might be because Twitch servers are still storing copies of the clips even after deleting them.
Twitch is having a lot of trouble with the music industry recently. Almost all the Twitch streamers are getting DMCA takedown warnings on their videos dating back to their early years. Twitch is issuing warnings to streamers regarding these copyright claims and straight-up deleting the videos. They are not even given the chance to archive these contents.
Some streamers such as Pokimane and XQC are deleting all of their previous content to prevent these DMCA claims. But are they safe even after deleting all of the videos that have copyright music in them?
